Rob Greenfield Boeken

For young readers ages 8 to 12, an inspiring, lively guide to sustainable living from YouTube star and zero-waste activist Robin Greenfield. Features kid-friendly information on the highly popular movement towards zero-waste living, as well as information on the climate crisis and solutions.Robin Greenfield loves this planet, and he’s willing to go to extremes to show kids how our way of life is causing it harm. He’s walked around New York City dressed in his own garbage, cycled across the U.S. on a bamboo bike (three times), and survived one year on food he foraged or grew himself. For Robin, it’s all worth it: he brings attention to important topics like food and water waste; our dependency on fossil fuels; our piles of stuff (and the energy required to produce it); and our disconnection from community and the wider world.In this uplifting book, Robin uses his own experiences—backed by solid information and a ton of great ideas—to show kids that no one is too young to make a difference, and no action is too small to make a start.Robin donates 100 percent of his proceeds from this book directly to environmental nonprofits.

Zero Waste Kids features fun and practical projects designed to get kids reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling to benefit the environment and lead more sustainable lives.

Rob Greenfield cycled 4,700 miles while using only 160 gallons of water, dining mostly on food foraged from dumpsters, and avoiding the use of fossil fuels. In doing so, he used a tiny fraction of the resources consumed by the average American and produced 150 times less trash. He also had a ridiculous amount of fun. This is his story.
